| any audiophile guitarists out there? VOX makes the "Nightrain" head which has a triode mode and a pentode mode - basically cuts the power output from 15 to 7 watts. Sounds a little different in the triode mode, but sounds like a VOX amp either way. You mentioned power. If you aren't ... | |

| Is it OK to place speakers behind me ? Never, never turn your back on a pair of speakers - they cannot be trusted. Many who have done so have paid the price. Be safe, place your speakers in front of you, look em dead in the drivers, they'll back down - they have no backbone, only coppe... | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound Juancgenao: Will not comment as to the musical ability of audiophiles in general or stereotype (pun intended) audiophiles as far as income bracket. What I will share is an experience that I had when looking for speakers. After listening to a pair ... | |
| Electrician's advice wanted: safely lifting ground The danger from electric shock depends on several factors including but not limited to the persons own electrophysiology, the impedance of the person at the time, and the current path through the body. None of these depend on the potential. For ex... | |
| tubes and rock and roll, good fit? I have thought of going with a tube amp or preamp myself and am still mulling it over. There is a difference in the sound from a tube amp as opposed to a solid state amp for home audio, but I doubt that you want the same quality that musicians are... | |
| B&W 803S, are they the right speakers for me? If you want to find out if it is the tweeter carefully attach a kleenex over the front of the tweeter with the aid of a rubber band. If you get a decrease in the harshness it's the tweeter, if not, keep looking. One reason I doubt that it is the t... | |
| Buidling a Classical Library - MUST HAVES! Here are a few - all except number 5 listed below are absolute must haves - at least the work, I have listed the conductor or performer and label of the versions that I find to be outstanding. With classical music you will find it enlightening to ... | |
| McIntosh C220 VS C2300 AB comparison Miner 42: What did you prefer about the 2200 to the 220/2300? | |
| B&W 803S, are they the right speakers for me? I run a pair of 803s with a c45 driving an mc 402 - not much different than your system; and use the 4 ohm taps. Room is smaller 12/22 but with an open plan into other room. I am 9-10 feet back with speakers away from walls. The sound just gets lo... | |
| My ears of tin are over 50 Nice catch Mapman. Becomes somewhat circular doesn't it. | |
| My ears of tin are over 50 Whether you can hear well over 50 depends on many things, there is no bright line rule to that effect. Typically sensorineural hearing loss occurs either due to acoustic trauma or aging (presbycusis). Whether and when you suffer from hearing loss ... | |
| Dynamics at lower volumes? 6550c - finally - adherence to a definition - correct. My guess is that what the earlier commenters meant was either (1) that the lowest level of the recorded sound (i.e. the first few seconds of Verdi's Requiem for example) was audible - thereby ... | |
| Are tone controls worth a second look ? Firm believer in tone controls. Thinking of looking at more sophisticated frequency adjustment options. There appear to be some long standing companies out there. Has anyone had any experience with products from Klark Teknik? Would also be interes... | |
| Hail to Mcintosh Well, as I've said before - there's mcintosh in one category, and then there's everything else. After listening to every standalone amp that I could find, the question was only which mcintosh amp to choose - I ended up with a 402 but could have do... |
